Holiday program

It was a sunny afternoon, I was 7 when I went to a Holiday program.  My friends that I made there Wand I were just playing around when we stumbled upon some old cart chassis.

We sprinted back to tell the adults about it when I stopped in my tracks." hey guys I have an idea." I shouted to them." Why don't we persuade the adults to let us build carts and race them down the hill over there." I explained in a excited tone.  They agreed and we raced towards the building.

When we got the adults on our side we went back with most of the adults to help carry the stuff back and get the tools.

We made them quickly because they were cart chassis.  When we had made them we pushed them to the top of the hill and hoped in one.  We started racing them down the hill to see who will be the fastest.

When it was my turn I thought." How bout I rough things up a bit." I rammed into the closest cart turning it into a derby.

As I was going down a second time I get rammed and turn sideways losing control of my cart.  I duck my head in at the exact same time the cart starts rolling down the hill.

I reach the bottom my cart falling apart.  I stop with my cart upside down I try to get out but my friends were already flipping the cart chassis over.  I get out a little dazed and look at the trail of cart bits from my cart all the way from where I got rammed.  I look at the destroyed cart and wondered how I survived the crash.
